70% to pass

The number or name of a tank barge shall be _______________.

A displayed in at least 4 different positions on the barge
B carved on a wooden board and attached to the barge's hull
C displayed at the highest point of the barge's hull such that it can be seen from either side
D displayed as close to the navigation lights as possible
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) displayed at the highest point of the barge's hull such that it can be seen from either side. This is the correct answer because U.S. Coast Guard regulations require the number or name of a tank barge to be displayed in a prominent location on the barge, typically at the highest point of the hull, so that it is visible from both sides of the vessel. This ensures the barge's identity is clearly marked and easily identifiable for safety and identification purposes. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully meet the regulatory requirements. Option A is too vague, option B is not the preferred method, and option D does not ensure the visibility from both sides of the barge.
